Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving was the talk for all the wrong reasons when the 2021-22 season. Be it within his own organisation or NBA fans all around the globe, he went through some amount of criticism.

Kyrie Irving makes history in NBA
Kyrie Irving hasn’t had a professional representative since he fired Roc Nation in July of 2021. According to the New York Post, Roc Nation was his second agency in just three years.

With the word around the franchise being that Irving wants to stay with the Brooklyn Nets alongside Durant and Simmons, the 29-years-old can opt into his 2022 play option, or go into the 2022 NBA Offseason as a free agent. Whatever he does, he surely will be one of the best point guards, in modern-day NBA.
